Chapter 3 Configuring and Managing the IP Camera
Status Windows
The IP camera stores video log files in its internal SDRAM. When the SDRAM becomes full, the IP
camera stops storing additional video files or begins overwriting the oldest video files, depending on the
setting of the Overwrite/Replace oldest video file when SDRAM is full option in the Event window.
(See the
“Event Window” section on page 3-24 for additional information.)
To prevent the SDRAM from becoming full, periodically delete video logs.
To display the View Video Log window, access the configuration windows as described in the
“Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera” section on page 2-4 , click Status, then click View Video
Log.
Table 3-25 describes the option in the View Video Log window.
Note These features are not currently supported if you use the IP camera with Cisco VSM.
